Left-arm orthodox spinner Zachary Jodah bowled superbly to see Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) race to a 47-run win over Everest Cricket Club in their Under-17 showdown on Saturday.

In reply, Everest were rolled over for 80 inside 23 overs with Ushardiva Balgobin partnering with Ariel Tilku to put on 40.

However, the partnership was not enough as both batsmen fell for 32 and 33 respectively.

Jodah, a national player, was the main bowler picking up 4-17 while Aryan Persaud snapped up 2-17.

GCC followed up their exploits on Saturday but were unable to stop a resurgent Ogle U-17 on Sunday at the same venue, losing by 17 runs.

GCC won the toss and decided to field as Ogle lasted 35 overs to post 130 all out. Davanand Khemraj was the top run getter with a solid 28 while support came from Andrew Samaroo with a spirited 17.

Darius Andrews and Jodah each picked up 3-24 while Persaud claimed 2-18.
